Chapter 14: Call Me Brother Again

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was also because of this trending topic that more people sent her private messages, including ghost photos.

The comments under Ying Luwei’s Weibo also changed direction—

[Luwei, don’t be fooled by your niece.]

[The better people treat her, the more she pushes her luck, so she can’t be indulged. Sisters, am I right?]

[It was clearly she who pushed Luwei down the stairs.]

Not only Ying Zijin didn’t feel anything about it, but she even read the comments very seriously. She even learned some new trendy terms. “It’s no big deal.”

She didn’t care about the Ying family, let alone these people.

As long as they didn’t provoke her in front of her, irrelevant people would never affect her.

“That won’t do.” Fu Yunshen smiled as he said in a magnetic voice, “You’re so obedient and talented, so I can’t bear to see you being scolded like this.”

Ying Zijin rubbed her ears and moved the phone away from her. “Let’s make a deal. Can you not call me little kid?”

Tsk, his voice was quite nice.

It seemed to be able to cure her tendency to wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

“Huh?” Fu Yunshen said slowly, “Three years old is a generation gap. I’m five years older than you. If you’re not a child, what are you?”

Ying Zijin paused for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and asked, “Brother?”

He treated her like a child and even wanted to be her older brother?

The girl’s voice was originally cold, but because she had just woken up, there was a hint of softness to it. The huge contrast was even more seductive.

Even Fu Yunshen was stunned.

His eyes narrowed as he said, “Call me brother again.”

“In your dreams.”

“…”

Alright, the negotiation had failed.

Fu Yunshen gave up.

Little children weren’t easy to fool.

Ying Zijin took a sip of water. As she turned her head, her gaze swept down from the window.

Coincidentally, she saw a woman getting out of a Maserati outside the iron gate and supporting an old woman.

Swoosh!

In an instant, something that was about to happen in the future appeared in front of her.

“I have something to settle.” Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed as she said, “I’ll treat you to a meal later and bring you something.”

“Okay.” Fu Yunshen suppressed his voice and said aloofly, “I’ll wait for you to treat my kidney deficiency…”

Then, the call was hung up.

Ying Zijin put her phone into her pocket with an impassive expression.

Call him brother? What kind of hobby was that?

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Knock, knock, knock. The sound was extremely loud.

“Second Miss, get up quickly. Do you want to make Madam angry again?”

There was no response.

The butler’s expression darkened. He took out his key and was about to open the door to enter, but before he could do so—

“Bang!”

The heavy door fell down.

It smashed down directly on his head, only an inch away from the ladle.

Sunlight shone in through the windows, illuminating the dim hallway.

The butler was stunned. As he stared blankly at the girl standing against the light, his legs trembled and he almost lost control of his bowels.

With her hands in her pockets, Ying Zijin said indifferently, “It’s time to change the door.”

She only gave it a little push, but it collapsed.

What would that be called in the twenty-first century?

Oh right, a shoddy construction.

The butler’s legs were still shaking. He swallowed hard and tried to speak, but no sound came out.

Naturally, the commotion upstairs didn’t escape Zhong Manhua’s ears. She frowned and was about to go upstairs to investigate personally when the door of the old residence opened.

A gentle female voice sounded with a hint of surprise.

“Sister-in-law, haven’t you eaten yet?”

“Luwei?” Zhong Manhua turned around and was stunned. “Mom, why are you here?”

Old Madam Ying leaned on her walking stick and said, “Why? Can’t an old woman like me come?”

“Mom, that’s not what I meant.” Zhong Manhua’s heart skipped a beat and she hurried forward as she said, “I just didn’t expect you to come. I didn’t prepare anything.”

Ever since she gave birth to her second child, Old Madam Ying had moved out and lived in a downtown apartment with Ying Luwei. She would only come back during the holidays.

“There’s nothing to prepare. I’ll leave after settling this matter.” Old Madam Ying didn’t appreciate her kindness. “Call your daughter out.”

It was obvious that she hated her so much that she didn’t even want to mention her name.

Zhong Manhua could guess what was going on. She pursed her lips and said gently, “Mom, take a seat first. I’ll go now.”

“Sister-in-law, my mom hasn’t seen you in a long time, so please accompany her.” Ying Luwei said with a smile, “I’ll go look for Jin. I’ll apologize to her too.”

“Apologize?” Unexpectedly, these words angered Old Madam Ying. She knocked the floor heavily with her walking stick and sneered. “Manhua, your daughter is really something. She did something wrong, but still needs someone else to apologize.”

“When did our family become so messed up?”

Zhong Manhua felt suffocated, but she didn’t dare to retort.

“Wei’er, don’t go.” Old Madam Ying held Ying Luwei’s hand as she said coldly, “How can an elder invite a junior out?”

After Zhong Manhua took a deep breath, she raised her voice and shouted, “Ying Zijin!”

At the staircase, the girl slowly turned around.

She raised her head and glanced around the hall, but she didn’t seem surprised by the triad. “What’s the matter?”

Her nonchalant attitude made Zhong Manhua furious. “You’re not going to greet them?”

“Don’t.” Old Madam Ying raised her hand and said indifferently, “I only have one granddaughter.”

Her biological granddaughter was studying in Continent O. An adopted daughter wasn’t her granddaughter.

Ying Zijin nodded slightly, nonchalant but graceful. “That’s good. I don’t have the habit of randomly acknowledging relatives either.”

The walking stick in Old Madam Ying’s hand trembled when she heard this.

Her original intention was to embarrass her adopted daughter, but unexpectedly, she was mocked instead.

Zhong Manhua’s expression changed drastically and she said angrily, “What are you saying? Why are you speaking so unpleasantly?”

“Sister-in-law!” Ying Luwei was shocked and quickly comforted her, “Sister-in-law, don’t be so angry. Jin is just a child. Let’s talk things out patiently.”

“Patience?” Zhong Manhua was so angry that her eyes turned red. “She’s way too rude. Apologize!”

Her biological daughter had indeed come to jinx her, making her unable to raise her head in front of her mother-in-law.

Ying Zijin looked up aloofy and asked, “Do I know you guys?”

This nonchalant attitude made Zhong Manhua even angrier. “Ying Zijin!”

“That’s enough.” Old Madam Ying said indifferently, “I’m not here to watch you discipline your daughter today. Let her tell us why she pushed Wei’er down at the banquet that day.”

She closed her eyes and asked, “Could it be that you think that you can become the madam of the Jiang family if Wei’er isn’t around?”

These words hit the nail on the head.

Zhong Manhua’s expression changed drastically and she was a little flustered as she retorted, “Mother, that’s definitely not the case. Please don’t believe in the rumors.”

“That’s right, Mom.” Ying Luwei also persuaded, “There’s no such thing. Why don’t you believe me?”
